1:45am
In the middle of a forest
The car seemed to be going down an endless road in the forest, Amara felt really uncomfortable, the man sitting on her right side was just quiet, she looked out the window and examined the forest well, she could see dark tree trunks, shadows, overhanging limbs across the path seen at the last second, clumps of bushes, moon shining through a lattice of leaves, patchy sky & stars seen in glimpses through tree breaks, tall shadowed pines stretching up like arrows into the sky as they got deeper and deeper in the forest the only sounds she could hear were the sounds of the wind slipping through leaves, she didn't see nor hear any animal sound, it felt like this forest was haunted, the trees looked like they were getting taller, it felt like they were staring at her, it looked like nobody even visited this place at night, there was even a sign on one of the trees that said CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK, she felt like she was in one of those haunted movies where at night the trees would grow eyes and legs and went around eating anyone that came near them.
She wanted to ask him where they were going because they had been on the road for 6hours but she was even too afraid to ask him. He might have been handsome but he had a dark, powerful and scary aura, his eyes spelt danger, he did not look like the type of guy that liked being asked questions so she decided to keep quiet. "I'm you might be wondering where we are going, don't worry we'll get the in just a few minutes." He said not even looking at her. She only nodded her head in response.
He said they would get there in a few minutes but it was already 6am and the sun was starting to rise, she was about to question him when she saw something beautiful ahead, the forest was more beautiful now and what was something else. She was in ewe, It somehow looks like a stylized tree, with a base like a stem and a larger superior level like a treetop. It was made of concrete, wood and glass, but the major impression was given by the honey warm color wood that simply integrates in the environment. The car stopped and they got out of the car and walked in the houseThe interior of house seemed to be an invitation in the forest as the large windows leave space to nature in this home. The furniture, the accessories, the decorations, the carpets, the floors were a sweet harmony of brown colors, all matching, all integrating. One might ask themself if he lives in the forest or is the forest that lives in this house, as everything is conceived to invite to contemplation, to joy and primordial peace. The living room had a large comfortable sofa near a generous bookshelf. The transparent fireplace gave an impression of an ancient space in the modern context. Every wall has space for a tinny window and once more invites light and forest to be part of the atmosphere. The floor has huge terraces, where wood reigns and where one might have dinner in a summer evening, enjoying the symphony of forest sounds or where might enjoy reading a book in the fresh air. This is the place for meditation, for a morning coffee surrounded by trees.The stairs were simple, minimalist, but they gracefully integrate in the concept of the architect by transparency and color. The staircase, like all other parts of the house, was underlined by natural light. The bedroom was white and she had the feeling that no other color would be a better match, as it was a space where beauty was given by simplicity. Through the bedroom, you may access a tiny private space, an office where to work or study. This room was again a space of light, having a very interesting window, cut in the middle of the bookshelf. It is a perfect place for privacy and efficiency, an inspiring background for any intellectual work. The bathroom was simple, in colors of stone and decorated with beautiful white objects. It had a generous tub and a basic shower, so that one may enjoy either the pleasure of a refreshing shower or the joy of an aromatic or foam bath. Of course there was a big window so that nature joins the background. There was another spacious, beautiful room with a wall of glass and one of wood where eyes are delighted by light and colors, having a big sofa that wa good for relaxing but also having a good conversation. Near the window there was a beautiful and extremely modern and chic armchair that was perfect for reading a book or for simply admiring the omnipresent nature. The black marble and the exterior stairs having irregular geometrical forms gave a touch of modernity and style to the house transforming it in a harmonious combination of modern and daring architecture that underlines the beauty of nature. The person that planned and built this house took their time and made sure that everything was perfect, after they showed her the house they escorted her to her room, and it was beautiful it had colourful lights on the walls, it had a large window that gave her a beautiful view of the forest as well as the waterfall that was about 20 minutes away from the house, on the right side there was a small grey couch and a small glass table in front of it, the walls were painted in grey, there was a valerian and spider plant near the window and in the middle it was the bed that she would be sleeping on, it was covered in white and grey blankets and pillows, with two teddy bears on the headboard, there was a painting of the Nile River on the wall, on her left were two door, one door led to the bathroom and the other one led to the closed.
She dragged her suitcases and opened the door that led to the closet, she started unpacking her clothes. It took her an hour because she had to put everything in their correct places. She walked outside of the closet and she heard someone nock on the door, she told the person to enter and a man waring a black tuxedo walked in" the young master would like to have a word with you." he said, he looked like he was in his late fifties." Okay" She said and he walked out she followed him and the found Ian in a room playing a piano, she hadn't noticed this room when they were showing her the house. "Have a seat, I'll attend you in a few." Ian said pointing at the couch that was on the far corner of the room. She went and sat on the couch.
It was after 10 minutes when he finished playing the piano, he stoop up and he went to where she was seated. He sat down next to her, he sighed looking at her. "The designer for you wedding dress will be coming over later this afternoon, and we'll get married first thing tomorrow morning..... Oh I almost forgot, sign this." He said handing her the contract from earlier. "You can read it firs if you like" He said, she decided not to read it and she signed it because she knew that she had to agree to whatever it is that the contract said. She didn't want to cause trouble for herself so didn't even want to object to any of his decisions. "Good, he said taking the contract, you have to be in the living room by 8am sharp tomorrow morning. Food is ready and it will eat it in your room, you may leave now." He said. She stood up and headed back to 'her' room, it felt strange to her for calling this room hers. She was not used to it. She did not know how he was going to treat her, so she had to be ready for anything even if it meant having sex with him
